It's still hard to tell how good a passer Manuel is, he rarely challenges a defense and it seems a large percentage of his throws are to stationary targets.

On crossing routes, seam throws or deep outs, from what I've seen Manuel just isn't willing to take those chances.
Just looks like a guy IMO who's playing not to lose, which may have more to do with the talent on FSU and the opponent they were facing tonight.

Idk, I still dont like Manuel as a passer. His release is VERY robotic.

I have no idea if either will be good in the NFL, but I find it funny that people are so quick to write them off. Just like people did with so many other talented QBs in recent years who are doing well in recent years.

I don't think Jones is going to warrant an early first round pick - he is a later 1st/2nd round guy. Early in the season after the KSU game people went into full bash mode on him though when he really isn't that terrible of a prospect.

Someone who commented on Manuel throwing to stationary targets is spot on, he just doesn't have the rhythm passing ability or accuracy to really hit a guy in stride. He just floats everything forcing guys to stop their route.

In the Miami game he left numerous WRs out to dry, and narrowly missed a wide open Chris Thompson on a short pass (where he eventually got hurt on). He had one throw in the game where he fired it in the middle, and I said to myself "Thats the first time he's thrown a ball like that."

He's got a ton of talent, but is just so frustrating sometimes. I'm beginning to think it might be more Jimbo's coaching style as he definitely micro manages the QB position.

He puts that pass on a rope and Thompson is gone for a TD and doesn't get hurt.
